My Nails and My Book Review - Cremains of the Day by Misty Simon

**NetGalley**

Title: Cremains of the Day

Series: Tallie Graver Mystery #1

Author: Misty Simon

Goodreads Summary: There's no reverse on the hearse . . .

For Tallulah Graver, marrying wealthy Waldo Phillips seemed like the best way out of the family business, the Graver Funeral Home. But when her marriage falls apart and Tallie is left with next to nothing, she turns to cleaning houses to make ends meet. As humbling as it is to tidy the mansions of the snobby socialites she used to call friends, at least she doesn't have to be around dead bodies. Until . . . 
She discovers one of her employers lying in a closet with a knife sticking out of her chest. This unpleasant shock seems to be part of a web of weird experiences: Tallie's friend Gina's shop is broken into, her ex is stun-gunned where it hurts the most, and now she's receiving flowers from the dead woman. Granted the deliveryman is handsome, but seriously, that's enough to cast a pall over anyone's day. Now Tallie needs to dig deep to clean up this mess--before she finds herself in a grave situation.

My Review: **I voluntarily read this ARC**

This was a great start to a new series. It had a very unique setting, interesting characters, and a great mystery.

My Manicure: I went with an accidental Halloween theme today... Yeah, I honestly didn't realize it would look this Halloweenish until it was done. My inspiration was simple - it takes place in a funeral home, so a coffin is perfect. I started out with China Glaze Bump in the Night. Then I stamped the coffin with Bundle Monster 402 and So Metal.
